One time I had this working. Now for the life of me I cannot get xfree started 
with my Geforce2 64M (PCI version). The Nvidia items have been lined along 
with xfree. I have tried lining xfree with and without the nv driver. When I 
do a startx, the screen flickers 3 or 4 times and then things seem to lockup. 
The only keyboard key that seems to work is  num lock, nothing else. Durning 
that state a lsmod shows the nvidia loaded with 7 instances.

I can ssh into the box I can kill everything related to starting X except a 
process call X :0. 

Here is my lspci:

Here is mtrr:

reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x88000000 (2176MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1

Thiing is I don't remember what I did the first time to get this working.

 CRN: MicroSoft CEO Steve Ballmer has finally said Linux is the No. 1 
 threat to Windows. What's your response to that? 
 Linus: "Tag, you're it." I don't care. They've had a lot of enemies 
 in their time. Let them fight one enemy that doesn't care for 
 a change.
